P0761

Shift Solenoid C Performance or Stuck Off

DTC P0761, sometimes indicated as P076100 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the onboard computer system or ancillary outputs causing shift solenoid c performance or stuck off.

Shift solenoid C is responsible for controlling the hydraulic pressure that shifts the gears in the transmission. If this solenoid is not working properly, the gears may not shift correctly, leading to the P0761 code.
If this code is showing up, it is likely that the shift solenoid C is defective and will need to be replaced.

1997 FORD TAURUS

"service engine soon" light came on while driving, had a mechanic run computer diagnostics, codes P0734 & P0761 read on two different occasions. Mechanic took a closer look at the transmission and said it did not have 4th gear and recommended it be rebuilt. I had contacted 2 Ford dealers before i knew that it was a major transmission problem and they said that nothing would be covered because i was out of warranty by 1,000 miles. I think that there is a manufacturing defect in the transmission. I contacted jaspors the manufacturer of transmissions and it is a known problem that a clip or selonoid is breaking and they have done 6 updates to this particular transmission. A transmission expert said that the transmission needs to be compeletly rebuilt. I had no knowledge that anything was wrong with the car until something triggered the engine light. One dealer offered my to sell me the extended warranty and the they would cover it. I have continued to drive the car which is operating as it always has and trying to determine the best course of action.
